Fredric Martin Hill, age 83, of Pensacola, passed away at his residence on Wednesday, February 3, 2021. He was born in Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana in 1938 to the late Wetzel and Georgia  Blankenship Hill. In addition to his parents he is preceded in death by a sister-in-law, Deloris L. Hill, and a brother-in-law, James H. Woods.

Fred was a devoted husband, father and grandfather who had a loving and caring heart, and was abundantly giving to everyone he knew. He was always attentive to those he cared about, providing unwavering support and was a true friend who had a calming and soothing presence.

Fred moved with his family to Pensacola in 1949 where he became a resident of Navy Point and then the Ferry Pass and Scenic Heights neighborhoods. He attended Warrington Junior High and Pensacola High School, graduating in the class of 1956. He then attended the University of Florida where he was a member of Kappa Alpha fraternity. He worked as a Research Chemist with Tenneco, which later became Reichhold Chemicals and later still, became Arizona Chemical. Fredric was involved in research that resulted in industrial patents in the field of resins and adhesives. He was involved with his community, serving on the PHS Class of 1956 Reunion Committee. He was a former member of First Baptist Church of Pensacola and a current member of Grace Lutheran. He proudly served as a former Army reservist, and was a lifelong reader and a Florida Gator fan. Fred was a history buff and the family historian; he really enjoyed keeping up with extended family, including many cousins and second cousins all across the United States.

Those left to cherish his memory include his loving and devoted wife, M. Lynette Hill, of Pensacola; a daughter, Kathryn L.H. Clark (Dale), of Pensacola; a stepdaughter, Cassie A. Balogh (Jorgen), of Pensacola; a stepson, Curtis W. Barfield, of Panama City; a brother, Robert C. Hill, of Pensacola; a sister, Janice M. Woods of Narberth, PA; a grandson, Axel R. Balogh, of Pensacola; and a granddaughter, Vendela N. Balogh, of Pensacola, as well as many much loved nieces and nephews.

A memorial service to honor the life of Fredric will be held at First Baptist Church, in Chipley Hall, at 1:00 PM on Friday, February 12th, with Pastor Bernhard Huesmann officiating. The service will also be streamed for friends and family who are unable to attend in person.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Samaritan Hands Ministry, 511 Tarragona St., Pensacola, FL 32501 or to Samaritan's Purse, PO Box 3000, Boone, NC 28607.
